8-4 here, and I eat lunch at 12.

Everyone else is 9-5 or 10-6 and look at me weird like I am eating early because I am fat. They take lunch at 1.

9-6 here, I eat lunch some time between 11:30 and 12:30 usually. My lunch schedule is flexible and fits around meeting schedules.

Usually take lunch at 12:30. Cuz some people schedule meetings that run through my lunchtime! And then they have the balls to eat their lunch in front of you!

I normally work from 12-5. We don't have a set lunch time...we just eat whenever. There are only 2 of us in the office at any given time.

I cant work all day because of class :( I am also only allowed to work 29 hours a week.

I would feel like slitting my wrists too if I ate for four hours straight.

I work 8:30 to 5:30, and I take my lunch whenever I want. Usually around noon or so.

I used to go to lunch at 2PM, so when I come back, they'd be only an hour to go in the work day. I used to go with a group of people to eat Subway or diner food.

I stopped that a while back to 1) lose weight, and 2) save money by brown bagging it.

Actually save about $150 - 200 a month by bringing in lunch.

I usually eat out once or twice a week with friends from work. Most days I bring my own lunch too.

East cereal for breakfast.

I pack my lunch.

Work starts at 7:30am

Arrive at 7:20am, realize I'm hungry, start eating my lunch at 7:25. I finish it before 7:30.

Hungry again at 11. Lunch at 11:30 to beat the crowd. Usually at some pizza place lunch buffet. Eat 7 small slices of their hawaiian bbq pizza, 6 slices of cinnamon stick, 2 salads, avoid the soda.

I'm not hungry and sometimes skip dinner if I eat a lunch buffet. Same weight as in high school.

Work: 7am-7pm Sun-Tues, every other Wed.

I bring in my own breakfast and lunch even though we have a full cafeteria, take lunch whenever we want, but I usually go about 1pm.

scheduled to work 8 am - 6 pm

I usually grab lunch around 1 pm... there are no official rules about it, but most of my coworkers tend to take lunch around 12 - 12:30 and I'd rather wait till after they get back rather than leaving the department empty.

I worked as a tech support agent, I spend my freetime/breaktime lurking around this forum and I can say I've learned a lot here :)
